Can Sunflowers be replanted?

[UFOsasha]

HI, I hope I'm in the right topic.
Does anyone know if sunflowers can be replanted when they are about 12 inches tall or even taller?
I moved a few in my garden, but now they are leaning and don't look too good...so I'm afraid to replant the rest of them.
Thanks,
Sasha

Sunflowers don't take well to being moved/transplanted. I've tried moving starts in those little pod things before - and they didn't care for that either.

-for responding.
Some seemed to have shaped up this morning, but others still look like the life of them has been drained out.
I guess I'll just plant some new seeds.

Could it be the site? Fertilizer? Don't move them until you are sure you have a good reason to...

Hi.

I have transplanted sunflowers in the past(the most recent was just over 6 weeks ago) and have never had any problems unless they were more than 16 inches tall(something about the stress of transplanting and bad soil), Trick I have found to moving them is to be sure they have the proper sunlight, watter well for a week after transplanting and be sure the soil you move them into is of good quality. Just like almost any other plant really
